ERA GT Rear Suspension

The E.R.A. rear suspension closely duplicates the original components and layout.  We have custom aluminum hub carriers cast and machined, and we fabricate steel control arms that are nearly perfect duplicates of the original car's components.

All pivot bearings are either nylon-lined rod ends or spherical bearings.  

The suspension geometry is changed slightly from the original car to compensate for wider tires.  The anti-sway bar is optional.

Handling is predictable, precise - and quite extraordinary!

All rod ends are nylon lined for silent running on the street, and the upper and lower trailing arms are mounted in urethane isolators at their front attachment points.
